.simpe files into .package files

does anyone here know how to convert them?

From what I know you cant. .simpe files are resources. I might be wrong, but its better to put your meshes in GMDC of your objects (the way it is done in the tutorial.) I know you want to here that i can, but looking at this post its made me think it can be done. It will say somewhere on the internet but dont get your hopes high. :sorry:

What is your problem when you try to download it? The site seems to be working fine for me. Go here and then click on the Downloads link.

To all those who couldn't get the Geometric Data Container to show up:

When cloning the object be sure the box "reference original mesh" is unchecked... this will cause the program to load the original mesh into the package for you, since an object can't show without a mesh... and that's when the GDC shows up! Of course, if you don't have the proper extensions installed you will get an error when you click on it, but you can read the FAQ on the SimPE site to find out how to fix that

I read this entire thread three times and didn't find anyone who had said how to fix this, so I hope I helped!

Our server was taken by the RIAA because I rented part out to a friend who put copyrighted material on his portion without my knowledge

. So the site isn't there anymore.

Moonlight, Parts 2 and 3 were all uploaded. The PDF only includes parts 1 and 2, but Part 3 is of no use and is just unnecessary info.

Zeph, an exact guide to the Wings 3D download link:

1. Go to http://www.wings3d.com/
2. On the left, there is a small window that says 'Latest Stable Rel: 0.98.32a' or something similar. If you have Windows, click the link 'win' underneath that line. If you have Mac OS X, press 'mac'.
3. Click any of the download links.
4. Follow the instructions at the top.
5. WOO-HOO! You win! :P

Not sure if I'm having a ditzy day but I followed everything right up to step 27, and the endtable that I opened into Wings 3d next to the mesh shape, is on its side with the legs going into the shape, (basically not upright like yours).

Any ideas as to what I have done wrong?

You can also find some of my creations at http://www.spicysims.com

If you haven't already started on a different one, I would love to see a hair meshing tutorial with Wings3D.

A slight inclination of the cranium is as adequate as a spasmodic movement of one optic to an equine quadruped utterly devoid of any visionary capacity.

When I try to save the model in uv mapper it says that the save function has been disabled and same with the import button. What do I do? IT says to register but do I have to pay to register. If not where do I register?

Please respond quickly.

Thanks!!

If this error message appears in SimPE, it means you will have to install managed direct X 9 that there is a link to at the SimPE download page. You need that for working with meshes.
